Product Details anti-GPAM Antibody

Binding Specificity: AA 730-780, C-Term

Specificity: At least four isoforms of GPAT1 are known to exist, this antibody will detect only the two largest isoforms.

Purification: GPAT1 Antibody is affinity chromatography purified via peptide column.

Immunogen: GPAT1 antibody was raised against a 15 amino acid synthetic peptide near the carboxy terminus of the human GPAT1. The immunogen is located within amino acids 730 - 780 of GPAT1.

Target Details for GPAM

Target: GPAM (Glycerol-3-Phosphate Acyltransferase, Mitochondrial (GPAM))

Alternative Name: GPAT1

Background: GPAT1 Antibody: Glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase 1 (GPAT1), one of four known GPAT isoforms, is located on the mitochondrial outer membrane, allowing reciprocal regulation with carnitine palmitoyltransferase-1. It is thought to be critical for the development of hepatic steatosis, steatosis triggered by GPAT1 overexpression leads to hepatic and possibly peripheral insulin resistance. GPAT1 is transcriptionally upregulated by insulin and sterol regulatory element binding protein (SREBP-1) and downregulated by AMP-activated protein kinase. Mice deficient in GPAT1 exhibit decreased triacylglycerol (TAG) in cardiomyocytes even in high-fat diets, suggesting that GPAT1 contributes significantly to TAG accumulation in heart tissue during lipogenic or high fat diets.
